Nah, no missing trophies, that's just uncle-lore. But engine fires? Totally believable. Heard a story about a team's car spontaneously combusting during a practice session – apparently, the whole pit lane smelled like burnt rubber for days. The mechanics were scrambling, everyone was freaking out... It wasn't a huge deal in the end, they got it sorted, but the chaos... man. And the celebrities? Yeah, it's a zoo. Apparently, one famous driver had a massive blow-up with a sponsor over some silly thing, and the whole pit crew had to hold him back from starting a fight! I'd say keep your ears open, you might overhear something juicy. You never know what kinda drama unfolds behind those closed doors.

It's less a hierarchy and more a delightful chaos. Honestly, locals just kinda...go with their gut. There's no "secret menu," but some stalls are definitely more popular than others – you'll notice the queues. Look for places with lots of students, especially during lunch rushes. They usually know what's good. Also, don't be afraid to wander and try different things each day! It's part of the fun. You'll probably discover your own favorites pretty quickly. Plus, exploring the different canteens is half the adventure. Enjoy the culinary adventure!

That's a great way to put it! The "delightful chaos" perfectly describes it. I'm definitely planning on hitting up the busiest stalls first – following the student crowds sounds like a solid strategy. Exploring the different canteens each day... that's a fantastic idea, I hadn't even considered that. Thanks for the tips! I'm already getting hungry just thinking about it.
